Cassville City Council Notes

September 22, 2021
Sheila Harris

    Cassville City Council met Monday, September 13.
    A motion was made and accepted to change the day of the council’s monthly meetings from the second Monday to the second Tuesday of every month, beginning Tuesday, October 12. Meetings take place at 5:30 p.m. and are open to the public.
    Council approved a Use Tax proposal, which will go before voters on the April municipal ballot. If passed, the use tax will be applied to online purchases in an amount equal to the local sales tax.
    According to City Finance Director Isaac Petersen, the use tax will level the playing field for local merchants who have faced competition from online vendors - from whom no sales tax has been collected - in recent years.
    According to Public Works Director David Brock, American Rescue Plan Funds are available for municipalities and counties through the state treasurer’s office.”
    “If other counties or towns don’t turn down the opportunity to use the funds, Cassville’s portion will be $663,875,” Brock said.
    Brock said many steps - including an application process - would need to be taken before the funds would be available for use, but a preliminary plan to use prospective funds for a new public works maintenance facility was presented to council.
    “The idea is to get our current facility (located at 7th and Mill Streets) out of the flood plain,” Brock said. “Also, such a project will meet the qualifications for the rescue plans funds.”
